Surprised by Disaster
by Fred Reed

*** begin quote ***

America’s problem is not that its generals prepare for the last war, but that they don’t prepare for it, and then fight it again the same way.

*** end quote ***

Too true!

I happened to watch “Gods and Generals” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gods_and_Generals_%28film%29 And, like “The Patriot”, it demonstrates the stupidity of the leadership. The strategy and tactics developed for war in Europe made for needless casualties in the American Revolution and the Second War of Independence aka the War of Northern Aggression aka the “Civil War”.

How many casualties are we taking in Iraq and AfPak?

Argh!
